The Best Things In Life Are Free September 9, 1952. Dear Diary: Today we unfortunate Cl's learned just how gre-en we really are at this college business. We stood timidedly in registration line, afraid to even ask the name of the Joe or .Iill just in front of us twho was real- ly as inexperienced as the next ouej. We decided to grin and bear it and im- press the superior ClI's. September 12, 1952. Dear Diary: Wheeef We actually lived through the first day of classes. What a difference in the good ole high school days and this! September 133, 1952. Dear D.: Has this ever been a thrilling day? We acquired a new word for an old feeling-- S.P. It seems that 4'i'e'rgfrn1f' knows about it. We really feel like old hands at this game now and just between the pages of this book and about eight hundred other people, some of us had our first dates on campus. We went to the B.S.I'. get-acquainted party and had sooo much fun. It really is great to meet all of these wonderful people. November 26, 1952. My Dear Diary: You have been so sadly neglected that it is probably impossible to catch up on all the happenings. However, you haven't been forgotten any more than we C1's. The CI1's have looked forward to Thanksgiving, Homecoming, and Society Anniversaries and Receptions for weeks. We unnoticed C1's have watched in amazed bewilderment as old class- mates have returned to the campus. Those inhuman shrieks have merely been greetings of long-time no-see friends. April 7, 1953. Dear Diary: Christmas vacationaexams-spring vacation-so many things have happened. It's hard to believe that Junior-Senior banquet time is here. We have slaved to make it the very best. Early morning practices, un- forgettable trips to Asheville, late nights in Stroup attic and Wall basement- these have gone into our theme, The Best Things in Life Are Free. 1t's fun- ny how we hadn't realized before how true these words really are, and now we know. June 1, 1953. Sweet Diary: This is the sad part of the year. We have been so busy since May Day, which was a breathtaking event, and now we realize that we will never again see a great many of the CII's after graduation. Again our theme holds true. Friends cost nothing but a smile. and a smile is certainly free. September 8, 1953. Wonderful Diary: Were back home! It's such a wonderful feel- ing to be among friends once more and to be meeting CI's. We'll help them travel over' the rough road we had last year. tlt won't be too hard, though, if the teachers are as understanding as they were with us.J We have been especially fortunate to have Mama and Papa Dee for our class sponsors. They treated the class oliicers royally at a steak-fry at the Cascades. Some fun! We have about the same things to look forward to this year, except we'll probably enjoy them even more than before. April 17, 1954. Treasured Diary: Are we ever tired! All day away from school so that the CI's could use the time to decorate the bare walls of the cafeteria with hand-painted tapestries woven in the same mill as ours were last year. After that marvelous shipload of treasures we Howed up our respective hills on the tide of ecstacy that will long brighten our hold of golden gleams of never-fad- ing jewels. May 31, 1954. Dearest Diary: There comes a time when we must say goodbye, and 1 fear the time is here. This is a book of cherished, certainly never-to-be-for- gotten, memories. There is a sadness in parting but these few lines would make us happy again. We should keep one room in our heart as a treasure-chamber for the sweet joys and friends that we have left behind. Memory has a marve- lous power to make gladness for us.
